I’m sure most of us have heard of spot reduction. Spot reduction was huge back in the day with old-school bodybuilders, like Arnold and those dudes.

For many years, the advanced scientists and lifters thought this to be something beyond broscience. This was on another level of lack of education involving the human body.

Well, I dono, let’s read on and find out… Continue Reading…

Make sure your fat loss diet is one that you can sustain and progress from…

Fat loss diets – everyone that’s tried them has surely felt lost, confused, irritated, frustrated, or all of the above. It’s far from pleasant and easy going on a fat loss diet. Cutting calories and dealing with cravings, on top of psychological angst, can be quite taxing physically and mentally.

Your metabolism is one of the biggest factors in your overall health and fitness. It’s your body’s engine – and it means everything when it comes to energy and weight loss. There are 2 primary aspects of your metabolism. There’s your resting metabolic rate, which refers to your body’s ability to convert calories into energy when you’re at rest, and then there’s your metabolic potential, or your ability to increase metabolism during exercise. Both aspects of metabolism play a significant role in your ability to produce energy, get fit, and lose weight. So both deserve special consideration.

Your metabolism fluctuates throughout the day based on various factors. From exercising, to muscle resistance, to eating properly, your metabolism shifts constantly, and taking advantage of, and shifting the paradigm towards calorie burning, is something everyone should be concentrating on!

The more you can give it a boost, the more calories and fat you’ll burn over and above your resting metabolism.
